Job 9:14-18 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

14. "How then can I answer Him, And choose my words before Him?

15. "For though I were right, I could not answer; I would have to implore the mercy of my judge.

16. "If I called and He answered me, I could not believe that He was listening to my voice.

17. "For He bruises me with a tempest And multiplies my wounds without cause.

18. "He will not allow me to get my breath, But saturates me with bitterness.
